What We Wore: 2018 Hale ‘Aina Awards

For more than 30 years HONOLULU Magazine’s Hale ‘Aina Awards have celebrated exemplary chefs and the very best in Island dining. Just as noteworthy? The haute looks sported by gala attendees wearing everything from local designers to luxurious labels. The dishes were five-star-worthy but the ensembles we spotted were feasts for the eyes.
